CLAIM: Norad is currently tracking the location of Santa. FACT CHECK: Santa is invisible to radar, and cannot be detected or tracked by any known US government technology. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Searched back through Blue Sky for this. Which is one of the best things I saw all year in any medium.

"Well... that's it. You outsniffed me. Well done, kid. But you'd better be ready. Cos now every punk in Spain with a nose and a ham and something to prove is gonna be coming for *you*."

Anyone got a magnet link? 👀

NEW: CBS is in a cat and mouse game with internet pirates after the network's spiked CECOT story was accidentally released via TV streaming in Canada. 👀 Now people keep uploading the video, and CBS keeps issuing copyright takedowns. But good luck stopping BitTorrent. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATpV...

If this were true, they wouldn't be banning the medical care that does this.

Okay but this would slap, actually. I need this show.

Nothing new, but I remain flabbergasted that any ex-chair of the ECHR can claim with a straight face that “snake oil salesmen” are responsible for the idea that the EA 2010 guards trans rights. Sorry? “Snake oil salesmen” like the MPs who passed the bill? Or every single ECHR chair before Faulkner?

mental health indicators for the first week of December TUE: dreamed I was trapped in an endless bureaucratic maze where everything I did was presumed wrong and evil by default and every decision only made things worse SAT: dreamed I phoned in to NPR to tell them I think they’re doing a great job

NEW from me: Trump's DoJ will "immediately" stop enforcing prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, according to a leaked memo. As first reported by @prismreports.org, prison auditors have been told to stop assessing whether said laws are broken www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This clip is incredible to me because it's just so....... The Way These Things Happen In Real Life. One day, I'd love to see a movie where dramatic, historic events are depicted in the way they actually tend to unfold: with a surreal bureaucratic banality, great awkwardness, and gallows humour.

NEW— DC Metropolitan Police just shared a tiny bit more body cam footage from the March US Institute of Peace raid in response to my FOIA lawsuit w/ @rcfp.org One clip shows USIP President George Moose being escorted out. Moose: You know we're gonna see you all in court. MPD: Yea we figured that.

That much money financing games by actual game developers would have financed 150+ of the highest budget AAA games, and the several orders of magnitude more jobs to produce them. Instead it was burned failing to produce advertiser-safe Second Life.

AS PROMISED: music I've recently bought and loved on Bandcamp! FIRST UP: 'horseglue' by Ekko Astral ekkoastral.bandcamp.com/album/horseg... this is the new single from @jael.bsky.social's excellent punk band Ekko Astral, who I saw live in Oakland a couple months ago (both SAVAGE and HEALING)

For various reasons, I had a lot of time off work this November. Here are some things I did: 🌳 Had a lovely staycation in SF with my parents. 🍴 Went to some great Italian restaurants. 🇪🇸 Started learning Spanish. ⚫ Had a relatively severe suicidal episode. ❤️‍🔥 Had a sustained mental health crisis.

IT'S BANDCAMP FRIDAY!!!! as aforementioned, I like to buy albums on Bandcamp. today is a GREAT day to do this because ALL the money goes to artists and labels! pls like this post so that when I wake up tmrw I'll be reminded to skeet about what I bought and what I loved :3 bsky.app/profile/did:...

Nice post! I do a combo of options 1 and 3. I buy albums on Bandcamp and vinyl, then put the MP3s on an external hard drive attached to a Raspberry Pi running a music server app called Navidrome. From there, I can listen on my phone or my computer anywhere with an internet connection. It’s neat!

WE 👏 EXIST 👏

do not kill yourself. killing yourself is the yourself killer

just in case y'all aren't aware: the new Rosalía album, Lux, is AMAZING. absolutely crazy genre hopping, every new song makes me spontaneously grin at its audacity and bombast honestly reminds me of Bjork or Kate Bush in how intensely + joyfully it experiments with the pop form! STRONG recommend

yes I don't really see how you can go "oh yikes these people have changed their political views incredibly quickly, mostly because of what Very Online people talk about on social media" and also think that people who went from never talking about gender to calling trans women predators are....normal

to be clear, this was the dream I had last night

bizarre cyber incident where people across the world found mysterious docker containers running on their devices, hogging resources and endlessly multiplying so I had to go on TV to explain what docker is and why there’s nothing sinister about me using it in my homelab

to be clear, the point here but pic #1 is a completely insane and ahistorical take requiring severe brain worms to even find remotely plausible. and wtf are “crime genes”?!?

SOCIAL PROOF ACCOUNTABILITY MANIFESTING STICKINESS ACCOUNTABILITY SOCIAL PROOF (I am learning Spanish and desire pretend gemstones. thank you for your attention to this matter)

Zombies, Run! is fantastic, and this is fantastic news! (ethics disclosure: one of my loved ones has done work on ZR. but I played and was impressed by it long before that)

gonna start confusing everyone by calling myself a detransitioner, by which I mean that I was forced to transition to male starting around 12 years old and only transitioned back as an adult

when u xcel, ppl will ‘spread sheet’ about u 🤭 😆

Checking in on MechaHitler

One thing that surprises me is how rarely this sort of thing is acknowledged as impinging on the rights of British citizens as well as immigrants. We should care about both, obv. But from my end, it’s pretty galling to be unsure whether the love of my life could join me in the UK if I moved back.

‘a’ film? no, no, no. I will name THE film with a forest.

I am beginning to learn Spanish and I am not above spamming you all about it in exchange for pretend gemstones 😇🇪🇸🇲🇽

The real Silicon Valley commentary was having a funder be like "you have all the time and money in the world, go nuts," only to suddenly pull the rug and say "actually, now you have to solve immortality for me personally in two weeks or you're cut off." This is how modern monsters are created.

Judge for yourself: did the dossier accusing the BBC of doctoring a Trump quote…doctor a Trump quote?

waitasec. are ‘Chibber’ and ‘Shubber’ related names

was on a bus in San Francisco the other night where the driver stopped and then refused to move until another passenger turned off his speakerphone. I am now pro Leviathan

I’d have to see the transcript, but this last idea sounds v much like Musk has lifted it from Iain M Banks’ Culture novels. The anarcho-communist Culture has no prisons or cops. But if you do a murder, a small annoying robot will tail you around for the rest of your life to stop you killing again.

the united states government acknowledges but does not endorse new york city’s claim on staten island, a strategic ambiguity political scientists refer to as the One New York Policy

As the cold reality of Cuomo’s defeat sets in, this is a moment for centrists to ask themselves: Have we lost touch with the common voter? Get out and spend time in the tattoo parlors and dispensaries. The drag shows, community gardens and outsider art galleries where Real New Yorkers congregate

Not loving that the bottom two countries are the exact same ones where I’ve spent my entire life.

not the point but I looked up all these watches and half of them are so goddamn ugly I wouldn't be caught dead wearing one on my wrist I literally think the multicoloured casio f91ws I wear every day are more attractive than the Rolex Datejust

The list of journalistic entities they've helped is astonishing.

1/ In late October, Middlebury College announced that Lia Smith, a 21-year-old student and diver, had taken her own life. She was also a trans athlete in a country that often treats transgender participation in sports as a political controversy. 🧵
